Sure, brand journalism sounds great, but it can be intimidating to launch. Come see what it looks like in action in this webinar from Wells Fargo.

Join Heather Sheriff and Arati Randolph and learn how to tell stories about employees, customers and your community in digital media. You'll learn:

• How to develop the right content strategy for your organization

• Best practices to blend social media strategy and traditional media relations

• Meaningful metrics to look for

• The power of advocates within your organization

• How to amplify content in your company's ecosystem

Financial headlines often dominate mainstream media. Yet experiences that represent Wells Fargo's vision and values may go unnoticed. Digital channels give organizations the opportunity to be their own publishers.

Learn about Wells Fargo’s “operating framework” for storytelling. Find out about content distribution and amplification, and how to measure and use your analytics.

Find out why Wells Fargo’s Corporate Communications team has pivoted from PR to P+R (publishing and relations). This allows the company to share compelling stories that drive reputational impact with all audiences—and engage their stakeholders directly.

Learn about “mining,” or digging deep within your organization to find the right stories. Take notes on how Wells Fargo’s content creators are assigned a beat, allowing windows into all areas of the company. Find out about story selection and how to tell a human story versus a corporate story.
